Ed. note: Before you go further be sure to turn up your volume so you can PLAY IT LOUD.

Because after listening to this there is really nothing left to say. I’d like to think I wish I had been born about five years earlier in order to be able to see these guys with the Joshua Light Show in all its brilliance, but knowing my luck I would have been shipped off to Vietnam and left dead in some stinking rice paddy courtesy of Lyndon Johnson and Robert McNamara.

To me, “Time Has Come Today” is the epitome of all that was great of ’60s psychedelia. Backwards cowbell with echo. Backwards drums with echo. That awesome fuzz guitar. That crazy funky harmonica. I remember my mom telling me that the screaming part reminded her of giving birth to one of us – pretty funny. In my mind the only thing that comes close is “Mrs. O’Leary’s Cow” from the aborted Beach Boys SMiLE LP.

They just don’t make music like that anymore. Whether you think that’s a good thing or not tells me everything about how old you are.
